So intense got to give credit for Sac fans for standing and applauding a great game.

Jamal should retire a clipper without question. We need to build our legacy.

12-5 is the best Clippers start to a season since they moved to LA

And it was while having one of the toughest schedules to start the season.

Unfortunately we face Indiana potentially without Paul, Redick and Barnes.

Is Paul definitely out! Indiana is a good team , but they are in the east and beat up on crappy teams.

We don't really know yet. I doubt Redick will play, which is really disappointing. I wanted to face the Pacers at full strength because I think we can beat them. We need a GREAT game by Blake. I mean we need and EPIC game from him, I think.

No Indiana is no Joke, they are for real. Paul George has been the 3rd or 4th best player in the league this year, Lance Stevenson is a good all around player, They're deep when is comes to their bigs, this will be a true test.

On another note, how about Jamal Crawford and DJ tonight, LOL ;lets trade Jamal for a backup big, really people, that's like trading DJ for KG, #Crazy Talk.

I so wanted the kings to be held under 100 and thankfully it was done.

Dan Woike @DanWoikeSports 4 minutes ago

JJ Redick said he knew nothing was broken in his wrist. "Where it hurts, there's no bone."

Dan Woike @DanWoikeSports about 21 minutes ago

JJ Redick said his wrist is in significant pain, swollen and throbbing. He said he hopes to have a MRI performed on it tomorrow.

Scott Howard-Cooper @SHowardCooper about 35 minutes ago

X-rays on J.J. Redick's right wrist confirm sprain / no break. Too soon for Clippers to say if he will miss Sunday vs. Indy or longer.

I didn't say they were a joke. I guarantee you if they were in the west they wouldn't be 15-1.

Usually wrist sprains can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 10 depending how bad.

I don't thin Redick plays I think Doc wants to play it as safe as possible. I could Paul sitting and being furious over but I can tell Doc wants no lingering injuries. Dudley is freaking killing me almost at missing Gomes over him point. Damn sure at least miss Gomes D.

Hoping we can offload Dudley too. Don't care how supposedly good a shooter he is if he takes five shots a game and gets blown by on defense.

Whoah nelly!! That game was too close for comfort. Glad we stepped up and got the win, great game by Crawford and very nice defense by Deandre (most of the game, cousins did dominate at times). I think our bench really shows their value and stepped up on defense and the boards.

No need to say who our weak link on defense was tonight

Sounded like it said the x ray confirmed sprain but no break. MRI really is what gives a good picture of the ligaments and tendons.

I didn't mean it that way, I just meant it as they are a really great team.

If Indiana were in the west they probably wouldn't be 15-1, but records are overrated at this point of the season anyway, it's all to do with early scheduling, for instance Golden State is 9-8, but they've already played the Spurs,Mavericks,T-Wolves once and Memphis, OKC,Clippers twice, but I still think they're a great team. I just think even if Indiana was in the west they'd still be good, regardless of their record. We'll need to be at Max strength to beat them. Probably why doc sat CP3 for rest, I hope JJ is alright, that was a nasty fall.

A tough, gritty win by the Clippers without their starting backcourt in Sacto tonight. I really thought once they went into OT, and once they got down 98-94, that the Kings were going to win. The guys kept working hard on defense, came up with stops & rebounds, and earned a big W in hostile territory.

What a game by Jamal Crawford. People still want to trade him for another backup big? LOL. He was pretty much the orchestrator of the offense. At age 33, that was some serious balling. Jamal faltered a bit down the stretch in regulation, but made some big plays in OT to help the Clippers win. 31-11-7 were just amazing #'s. A very good game by Blake Griffin- he played PHYSICAL seemed to grab all the big rebounds. Good job hitting jumpers & drawing fouls as well. Excellent work by DJ defending Cousins, rebounding, & blocking an eye-popping 9 shots. He did miss FT's, but that rebound & putback in OT was HUGE.

Collison was solid and was pretty much more of a slasher/scorer as Crawford had most of the play making duties. The bench in general did a solid job defensively. I do wish that Jared Dudley would have contributed more- 5 points, 3 rebounds in 37 minutes is just not enough. And defensively he got hurt too many times, and if he had to defend inside, the Kings players would just overpower him for easy layups. Hopefully as Jared's knee heals up he will step it up a bit.

Going forward hopefully JJ's wrist injury is not too serious, and CP continues to sit out until he is 100%. But the Clippers certainly cannot afford to have both of them out for extended periods.

Silasie, are you able to watch the games? I've noticed a few times that you tend to follow box scores even during a game. Do you have league pass or anything?

I live in England so the home games start at 3.30am here so I am generally in bed. I streamed the 2 afternoon games last weekend which was great. I download the games and watch them after the fact. I am downloading the Kings game now. Thanks for asking.

True,my knees went out and the x-ray showed arthritis,the MRI showed torn meniscus

JJ may be out for a while but I think we have the chops to carry on,it's CP# whom we need back. But every year this crap happens to every team.

To me the the part that pisses me off is CP3 is the only injured player that hurt himself,the others were all mauled by thugs from other teams that got away with their muggings with no repercussions.

I'm with YOU! We have Blake & cp3 for 5 yrs, jj for 4, let's give "mal", as cp3 called him in an interview after this game, at least a two or three year extension,....

Remember how there was a whole thread that went on for weeks about how he was unhappy with the changes in the off season. Was the that all bs or did he just get over it?

Interestingly, there was something I didn't like about Jamal in the game against the Knicks. Collison had the ball on the left side of the key in transition, Jamal was wide open on the right side and had his hands up in the air for Collison to pass the ball. DC wasn't really looking however and took the shot himself and missed. Jamal gave this fairly demonstrative reaction of frustration, making it very obvious he was not happy DC didn't pass him the ball. DC totally should have passed the ball to Jamal, but I didn't like Jamal's reaction at all...especially since we were winning at that point.

However, all is well in this game as Jamal got plenty of touches to say the least.

I find it funny that people mock our lobs, yet now that Williams is on the kings the fans are all "we finally have athletes who can brow lobs and dunk!" Maybe it's jealousy.

So it looks like JJ can't get the MRI until Monday so he's definitely out against Indiana. Sounds like Paul will be a game time decision.
